Int J Urol. 2001 Dec;8(12):704-6. doi: 10.1046/j.1442-2042.2001.00396.x.

Abstract

A case of sarcomatoid transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is reported. It was distinguished from carcinosarcoma by immunohistochemical study. The tumor was difficult to distinguish from a renal parenchymal tumor in imaging studies because it originated from a duplicated renal pelvis.
